I have been for quite a few interviews recently for part-time roles usually public sector or charity roles where the interviews are quite formal and competency based which often leave me wondering if they even knew my name. However I have just decided to go full time and went for my first interview in a commercial business. I was pretty thrown by the questions as I thought they were pretty personal. I just wondered what others thought and if you would usually expect these types of questions. I understand they need someone to fit in if it's a small company but afterwards I was thinking of feeding back that I didn't think the questionning was appropriate. I was a bit flustered in the interview.
Questions - Do you have children, how old is your son, who will look after him in the school holidays , how will he get to and from school, what is he good at, what sport does he play. Are you married, what does your partner do. How old are you. What do you do at weekends, do you exercise, what gym do you go to, how healthy are you. Do you and your partner do things together at weekends!!
